LeBron James cleared Ben McLemore for a tomahawk dunk in Friday's win by the Miami Heat over the Sacramento Kings that instantly went viral.

“It sucks that it was him,” James said after the game. “Because I like him. That sucks.”

“I just went over there to try and take the charge,” McLemore said before letting out a smile. “And he dunked the ball.”

McLemore second-guessed himself after the play.

“Afterwards, I thought maybe I should have just fouled him,” McLemore said. “Knowing it was LeBron, I knew they weren't going to call (a charge), but I was just playing to my defensive principles. Even though they didn't call it, I didn't let that mess my game up.”
